Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to immersing himself in problems of luck, uncertainty, probability, and knowledge, and he has led three high-profile careers around his ideas, as a man of letters, as a businessman-trader, and as a university professor. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University’s Polytechnic Institute. His work has been published in thirty-three languages.
From the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder.
In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the “antifragile” is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish.
Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The book spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear.
Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave—and thrive—in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

評分一个玻璃杯美美地放在桌子上,当摔到地上的时候它会瞬间破碎,所以玻璃杯就是脆弱的;如果摔到地上的是一个塑料杯,它不会破碎而会在地上弹两下,所以塑料杯是强韧的;想象一下有种杯子,当摔到地下的时候,它非但没有破碎反而变成了两个杯子,这个时候它就是反脆弱的。 ...

评分新神諭。三觀再次被刷新。
评分新神諭。三觀再次被刷新。
评分這種抽象層次較高的書籍,更多隻能獲得一種看問題的視角和對已有經驗的總結,難以用來指導未知事物。比如身體需要不時的通過壓力來得到刺激,所以我們需要鍛煉。那麼倒時差,或者吃垃圾食品算不算呢?
评分讀到一半實在讀不下去瞭 我是真的很想讀完 可是句子太長太不適閤聽audiobook瞭 看看書評算瞭
